Aim The logistics guideline packaging manual is intended to inform about the use of packaging. It is aiming at pointing out to the persons/ authorities in charge how to package the goods in the most secure and best way. At the same time it is: • A support for purchasers in order to demonstrate to suppliers (e.g. in emerging markets) the use of correct packaging for supplies to BR, • A teaching aid for BR dispatch departments in order to train associates. 2. Scope This packaging manual is a recommendation for the Bosch Rexroth AG and its different subsidiaries. If there are specific laws to observe in a country, this packaging manual must be sensibly used. Holding companies are recommended to adopt this manual. However, the application of this logistics guideline is not mandatory. As far as it was possible, further support/ addresses are indicated in the following. BR/PUR-LOG especially points out that the contents of the said guideline do not exempt the persons/ authorities in charge from liability for damage, e.g. for defective packaging or insufficient corrosion protection. The person/ authority in charge is also not exempt from the duty of information about the applicable regulations for packaging and means of packaging. 3. Term definitions Term definitions are to be found in part 2 of the ZN 02101 “Labelling regulations for packaging”. 2 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 4. Regulations, guidelines, standards and legislations Regulations, guidelines, standards and legislations about packaging can be found in the "Logistics manual for suppliers of the Bosch Group". The applicable import regulations for packaging/ packaging materials are contained in the "International Standard for Phyotsanitary Measures No 15" (ISPM). (http://www.fao.org/Legal/treaties/004s-e.htm) For applicable information on wood packaging see http://www.hpe.de 5. Packaging at Bosch Rexroth Packaging Accessories 5.1 Reusable packaging One-way packaging Standard packaging Standard packaging Customer packaging Specific packaging Display packaging General information on functions and usages of packaging Functions of packaging The most important functions of packaging are the protective function, storing function, and the loading and transporting function. The protective function ensures that the products are protected from mechanical and environmental influences and from loss of content. 3 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 The storing function of packaging guarantees that the packaging is designed in such a way that the product can be simply, neatly and securely stored. The loading and transporting function of a packaging ensures that the packaging can usually be easily, efficiently and securely moved. Usages of packaging The design and construction of the means of packaging and the inner attachment of the packaged goods must be carried out taking into consideration the (static and dynamic) load during transport, handling, and storing as well as the economic efficiency. The goods must usually be dispatched packaged according to its nature. Packaging of sea cargo The shipping units are suitable for sea cargo, i.e. they are space-saving considering an favourable size/ weight ratio. The most suitable packaging must be chosen each time. The intactness of the goods considering the risks of transport must be guaranteed with regards to outer mechanical and climatic influences as well as corrosion during transport by sea and the following transport until arrival at the destination, by rail, by truck, by inland waterways, by combined transport, during several transfers and longer storages outside. The design of the packaging must be such that it is suitable for loading by crane as well as loading by floor trucks. Sizes and weight must be tailored sensibly to loading space and load-carrying capacity of the means of transport and the lifting gears. Packaging of air-cargo Unless differently stated in an agreement, for transport of air cargo low-weight and space-saving packaging must be used that still ensures the intactness of the goods regarding outer mechanical and climatic influences as well as corrosion even during post-transport and post-storage. 4 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 Lists of cargo units In international logistics, a cargo unit is the smallest unit of a consignment of goods. A list of cargo units lists the cargo units on the delivery note. Usually, the service providers and recipients receive a list of cargo units in addition to the regulations for proper packaging processing. This form of lists of cargo units is mandatory for the processing of a commission. 5.2 Accessories The accessories are divided into five groups according to their nature and application. Group Example Note Plastic PE bags and pouches Reusable (no plastic pouches) Adhesive Labels Residue-free removal Filling material Padpac No styrofoam or filling material made of foodstuff(e.g. maize chips), no packaging foam Strapping material Steel/ plastic strap Anti-tarnish paper VCI–paper 5.3 Notes under point 8 Reusable packaging Reusable packaging can be used several times and is usually used on a lend-return basis or is lent against payment of a deposit. 5 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 5.3.1 Standard packaging European exchange pallet (euro pallet) European exchange pallets must be used in the internationally recognized sizes of 1200 x 800 mm (euro pallet as per DIN 15146-part 2) and 1200 x 1000 mm (industrial pallet as per DIN 15141-part 4). Only in these cases is a optimum module formation (as per DIN 55 520) and full utilization of the pallet guaranteed. Mesh boxpallets The also exchangeable mesh boxpallets (as per DIN 15155) have the basic size of 1200 x 800 mm and thus enable an optimum stackability. The flat and mesh box-pallets should meet the quality requirements of the „European Pallet Association (EPAL)“. Small load carriers (KLT, Kleinladungsträger) The KLT system is a uniform and modular system that can be mechanically and manually operated. It is standardized to the basic size of 1200 x 800 (Euro) and 1200 x 1000 (ISO) and is an exchangeable system that is universally used. 6 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 KLT - types used at Bosch Rexroth: Characteristic VDA-C-KLT* VDA-R-KLT VDA-RL-KLT VDA-F-KLT KLT-design double-walled one-walled one-walled one-walled Rigid/ foldable rigid rigid rigid foldable Filling weight up to 50 kg compatible bottom up to 20 kg compatible bottom up to 20 kg up to 20 kg compatible bottom Picture Bottom smooth bottom * preferred type by Bosch Rexroth: VDA-C-KLT Stackability C-KLT 6428 module 600x400 Column ability to be stacked RL-KLT with four-way flat pallet made of wood, locking plate The security during transport is only guaranteed if the container system is secured form within, i.e. the KLT are offset stacked. Otherwise, it is recommended to strap the KLT column. 7 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 5.3.2 Customer packaging Should the customers of Bosch Rexroth have special requirements for the usage of packaging materials, these must be observed and carried out. In addition, the packaging materials (e.g. the Volvo pallet) that are put at disposal by the customer must be used. 5.4 One way packaging One way packaging is generally only used for one single transport and are not filled again. 5.4.1 Standard packaging (transport packaging made of corrugated cardboard) For transport packaging made of corrugated cardboard, standard sizes marked with an “S” are specified with certain qualities. There is a modular system of which the basic sizes are such that the packaging can be stacked in a sea container. Mat.

(ZN 02102) 6. Unit loads of reusable and one-way packaging A unit load is a load that is put together in such a way that the items or packages can be handled, transported, stacked and stored as a unit. If the unit load comprises of smaller containers (special or universal containers, KTL or one-way packaging), these must comply with the standard measures of the pallet. Ability of unit loads to be stacked Wrong Correct 18 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Wrong Wrong Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 Correct Formation of unit loads The basic size of the unit loads (1200 x 800 mm or 1200 x 1000 mm) must not be exceeded by the goods and unit loads. The height of the entire unit load must not exceed 1000 mm. The unit load must be transportable by floor trucks and automated vehicle systems. Thus, the space in between the pallet feet must not be taken up by the securing devices of the unit load. Unit loads must be secured in such a way that the transport packaging cannot get out of place during transport. This can be ensured by using: • Shrink hoods • Plastic elastic straps • Shrink foils Straps cutting into the cardboard packaging are not permissible. This can be avoided by using edge protectors. If something is taken out of the unit load, it must be ensured that the rest is stable. Wrong Correct 19 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 7. Information on environment and quality 7.1 Hazardous cargo Hazardous cargo is material that poses a risk for humans, animals, or the public safety and order when transported on public means of transport (road, rail, waterways, air traffic). Guidelines for hazardous cargo Means of transport Regulation Road traffic ADR/ GGVS Rail traffic RID Ocean shipping IMDG-Code Air traffic ICA-TI or IATA-DGR-manual Basically, hazardous goods must not be packaged as sub package. The regulations on hazardous cargo must be strictly observed. The materials to be delivered can only be filled into tested inner packaging (casks, buckets, other containers). For all regulations, specific packaging requirements, filling materials and bans on joint transportation must be observed. In order to identify a substance, solution or an item with hazardous characteristics as per the regulations on the transportation of hazardous cargo or to determine the conditions for a transportation (e.g. shipping ban, exemptions, means of shipping), they must be classified. They are classified by the substance characteristics which are, for example, stated in the manufacturer’s security data sheets. Classification Substances are classified according to the following system: • • • • UN number Hazard class Packaging group Classification code 20 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 UN number Substances, solutions or mixtures are assigned with a four-digit number worldwide that is allocated by the UNO. Hazard class All hazardous goods are classified into hazard classes according to their characteristics. The classes indicate the main possible hazards (e.g. inflammable, toxic or radioactive) List of the hazard classes Class Designation Examples 1 Explosive substances and items with explosives not relevant* 2 Gases Spray cans, acetylene, oxygen, nitrogen 3 Inflammable liquid substances Paint, solvents, fuel, alcohol 4.1 Inflammable liquid substances Oil and solvent-containing waste, paint filter 4.2 Self-igniting substances Coal dust, soiled machine cleaning cloths 4.3 Substances that develop inflammable gases when in contact with water Calcium-carbide 5.1 Substances causing inflammation Hydrogen peroxide 5.2 Organic peroxides Curing agents, adhesives 6.1 Toxic substances Cyanide, isocyanate 6.2 Infectious substances not relevant 7 Radioactive substances Ionization detectors 8 Caustic substances Acids, bases, accumulators 9 Various hazardous substances and items Asbestos, PCB-capacitors, special oils *generally not available at Bosch Rexroth 21 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 Packaging group Besides the classification in hazard classes, the largest part of the hazardous goods is also classified in so-called packaging groups I, II, and III. Degree of Danger Packaging group I (X) For substances with great hazard (very hazardous substances) Packaging group II (Y) For substances with medium hazard (hazardous substances) Packaging group III (Z) For substances with medium hazard (less hazardous substances) (X, Y, Z letters of efficiency of the packaging) Classification code In order to specifically define the hazard arising from a substance, each substance receives an additional classification letter besides the already described classification. 7.2 Special requirements for wooden packaging materials In the international trade with packaging material made of solid wood, the hytohygienic regulations of the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention), a sub-organization of the FOA (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN) must be observed. These regulations stipulate treatment with recognized processes which comprise of heat treatment of at least 30 minutes with a core temperature of 56°C and disinfection with methyl bromide. The packaging must be marked clearly with a corresponding label with an identification code which consists of the ISO country code, the regional code and a four-digit identification number. The phytosanitary services or offices inform for which countries, from what time and to what extent the IPPC-standard applies. For applicable information on wood packaging see http://www.hpe.de 22 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual 7.3 Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 Regulations on the use of materials Type Recommendation - alternative Materials to be avoided Cardboards Free of materials harmful to paper production with water-insoluble coating or adhesives Composites not recommended Wood Untreated solid wood or plywood Chipboards, coated or varnished wood, wood wool Plastics PE, PP, PUR PVC, PC, styrofoam chips Anti-tarnish paper VCI paper, which is proven to be reusable together with paper/cardboard Incompatibly impregnated or soaked paper (e.g. bituminized, oiled and waxed paper) Banned materials The cumulative concentration of lead, cadmium, mercury, and chromium (VI) in packaging materials must not exceed the maximum permissible value of 100 ppm as defined in the EU directive on packaging (94/62/EG). [Bosch Rexroth, ZN 07950-01] In addition, ZN 07950-12 is applicable for VCI-packaging (volatile corrosion inhibitors). A detailed list of declarable and banned substances is to be found in the Bosch Rexroth ZN 07950- 12. 8. Corrosion prevention Corrosion is the attack on and destruction of metallic materials by chemical or electrochemical reactions with active substances of the environment. Corrosive matters are those substances surrounding the part, affecting the material and causing corrosion. Conservation Conservation must provide a temporarily restricted protection against detrimental influences and thus preserve the state at the time the conservation was carried out. 23 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 Only anti-corrosion agents that are approved by the department process engineering, environmental protection and industrial safety can be used. Type, nature and time of the inner and outer conservation of parts, devices and equipment made of iron materials depend on • the subsequent treatment, • the subsequent application purpose, • the sensitivity of technical surfaces to corrosion and other detrimental influences (dust, soiling etc) • the storage conditions and duration, • the technical terms of delivery of the customer. Anti-corrosion measures for individual parts Anti-corrosion measures for individual parts are already carried out in the manufacturing stage (e.g. by using corrosion-inhibiting coolant - and lubricant additives during the processing). If this temporarily restricted protection (due to long through-put times of the parts) does not provide sufficient conservation, this will be achieved by using VCI paper, dewatering fluid or anti-corrosion oil. The VCI paper (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) is an inhibitor which inhibits or prevents chemical reactions. Usually, the corrosion protection is carried out with a primer coat on all outer surfaces of the device excluding lands (AB 01- 03.05). Parts that are immediately assembled after manufacturing without any interim storage do not need to be conserved. Parts that are especially sensitive to corrosion or are subject to long storage periods (e.g. stock parts) must be additionally protected with an anticorrosive paper with VCI active substance or by shrink-wrapping and evaluation or shrink-fitting in water-vapour tight plastic foils. Parts that have a reduced protection after a certain storage period according to experience are treated with a subsequent conservation as a means of prevention. Abraded surfaces Abraded surfaces (lands) of devices receive caps of special cardboard or plastic with VCI active substance for protection. Safety measures for aggregates Aggregates are order-specific, complete equipment and are thus subject to inner and outer conservation after completion and final testing in accordance with order specifications and the customer regulations. 24 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 Machines, switch-gear assemblies, electrical devices and all goods exposed to corrosion must be shrink-wrapped in a largely water-vapour tight insulation layer adding drying agents for a conservation period of at least 12 months. Materials for the insulation layer are polyethylene foil and aluminium multi-layer foil. The foils must be carefully and tightly sealed in order to create watertight or nearly water-vapour tight insulation layers. The air within the insulation foil must be sucked off until the insulation layer clings on to the product that needs to be protected. After testing the tightness, the insulation layer must be draped around the packing unit so that the remaining air can circulate within the insulation layer. The insulation layers must be protected against pressure and abrasion from the inside and outside with suitable nonhygroscopic cushioning material. Drying agent The aim of using a drying agent is to create a closed system in which the relative air humidity is reduced to less than 40% for the entire period of transport, handling and storage since in this range no condensation takes place anymore. The drying agent binds the water and reduces the relative air humidity to a targeted value. The necessary number of drying agent units is calculated as per DIN 55474. The drying agents can be purchased with 1/6, 1/3, ½, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 units. The drying agents must be placed in the upper part of the climate package so that they get sufficient air. Direct contact of the drying agents with the products must always be avoided as the moist drying agent would only create corrosion. In addition, it is sensible to use several smaller sachets of drying agent instead of few larger ones as the surface of the available drying agents expands in order to absorb the water. 9. Labelling regulations Bar-coded label The shipping pallets are labelled with one address sticker with bar code. The place of the sticker must be clearly visible, right- and angular adjusted. The distance should be 100 mm (+/- 50 mm) to the top of the pallet and to the lateral edge. 25 Part 1 Logistics Guideline BR-Packaging Manual Status DocumentVersion st 1 Issue 1.0 Author Date BR/PUR-LOG 2006 Central standard The central standard “labelling regulations packaging” (ZN 02101), are described specifications for Bosch Rexroth (see part 2 of the packaging manual). 10. Labelling and marking Labelling of individual parts All individual parts, even loose parts within a cargo unit must be separately labelled. This labelling must be mentioned in the list of cargo units/ delivery note. The contractor will be notified of our individual labelling along with our order or our guidelines for the shipping procedure respectively. Marking of the packing units The packing units must either be marked with a sea watertight light-resistant contrasting colour with the help of a stencil or with marking labels that are provided by the customer.
